Northeast Fourth extension work starting this month
The first phase of the Northeast Fourth Street extension isn't expected to cause traffic delays this winter. COURTESY, city of Bellevue
Phase 1 of the Northeast Fourth Street extension project in downtown Bellevue is slated to start this month, and will expand Fourth from 116th Avenue Northeast to the Eastside Rail Corridor. This is one of several projects by the city to address future growth in the downtown and Bel-Red areas in Bellevue, along with higher population draws once Sound Transit completes its East Link extension in 2023. KLB Construction will complete Phase 1 of the project under a $3.9 million contract bid award made using local, state and federal funding. "We shouldn't have any major traffic de-
Ferguson has full plate in first year as attorney general BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson says his office is prioritizing as best it can to deal with current and pending legal challenges in the state in the face of a slimmer budget, and he's confident critical issues are being addressed. In an editorial discussion with Reporter staff Tuesday, Ferguson touted his selection of Nancy Krier as the open government ombudsman for his office and being able to bring that position back to full-time status. The attorney general said he is also proposing a bill to provide locally elected officials with an online training resource for navigating open records requests within the law. While some cities like Kirkland are backing budgets that make government accessibility a first-tier service, others are being challenged by what they consider to be burdensome requests for public information. Ferguson said it's good for local governments to work to clarify with the public what they want in order to narrow the scope of requests, but sometimes it doesn't matter. "There will be some cost to that and some inconvenience," he said of following open government laws, "and that's a fact." The attorney general's lawsuit against the Grocery Manufacturer's Associa-
tion over campaign finance concealment claims will move forward this month. So far, Ferguson said the association is accused of hiding the identities of contributors of up to $10.6 million to its campaign against I-522 in Washington, which would have required labeling on some genetically modified food products. He added it is the largest amount of concealed money ever donated to a campaign in the state. The GMA has since provided the names of its backers and their share of contributions, but continues to deny any wrongdoing, said Ferguson, adding he has read an association letter to its contributors that promised to conceal their identities. "They were very thoughtful and deliberate in concealing the names of those donors," he said, adding his office is seeking more options than just monetary penalties against the GMA. "Even a significant (monetary) penalty on their end may be interpreted as the cost of doing business." The Washington State Liquor Control Board is taking applications through Dec. 18 for licensure to grow, process and sell recreational marijuana with the potential for legislation to be passed next year that would require medical marijuana patients to go through these suppliers without being subjected to taxation. Many cities have accepted that they will soon need to make room for retail marijuana stores and grow

lays starting up this fall and in winter," said Tresa Berg, city transportation department, adding more substantial lane detours and closures aren't expected until summer. Phase 1 construction will continue until the end of 2014, and occur 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday and may include 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays. The second phase of the Northeast Fourth extension project will connect to 120th Avenue Northeast, which also will be widened in several stages from Fourth to Northup Way. Phase 2 design is at 60 percent and construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in fall 2014.

sites, but others like the city of Kent are not embracing the change. The Kent City Council voted last month to put a moratorium in place for marijuana businesses. Ferguson said the liquor control board is now seeking an opinion from his office about whether these municipalities have legal grounds to oppose marijuana as a commercial enterprise in their cities and oppose the will of voters who approved I-502. He's trying to come up with a legal opinion as fast as possible, he said.

Seattle-based Group Health Cooperative and Bartell Drugs announced Dec. 2 a collaboration to place medical clinics within three of the retailer's Seattle and Bellevue locations in 2014 with the hope of expanding its CareClinic model in the future. The collaboration is meant to provide more convenient and affordable access to basic care for common minor illnesses and procedures by Group Health within Bartell Drugs locations, where customers will also be able to quickly turn around and fill prescriptions. The cost for a visit is set at $75 when dealing with issues like the cold, flu, allergies, burns, rashes, sprains and bronchitis, and access will not be restricted to Group Health members. Most insurance plans will be accepted. The clinics will not be available for X-rays. The three initial start-up locations inside Bartell Drugs – Crossroads in Bellevue, University Village in Seattle and Ballard – were selected based on geographic and market data that will help the companies get a better sense SEE CARECLINICS, 5

Wallace wins Bellevue council re-election bid
By brandon macz bellevue Reporter
Kevin Wallace will serve another term on the Bellevue City Council with certified King County election results showing the incumbent councilmember beating challenger Steve Kasner by less than 1 percent on Nov. 26. Wallace has declared victory on his campaign site while Kasner has conceded his loss on his, stating, “... I trust that my opponent will hear and respect the Kevin Wallace message carried by nearly 50 percent of the voters, and I wish him the utmost success in his role as a Bellevue City Council Member.” Kasner stated he was disappointed in the low voter turnout – 45.59 percent or 33,872 votes counted – but felt good about the close race. Wallace received 14,628 votes (50.21 percent) while Kasner had 14,435 or 49.55 percent of the votes.

Council gets surprise price tag for parkway project
Bellevue city councilmembers were bothered to learn - after celebrating its completion more than a month ago - the West Lake Sammamish Parkway construction project came at a cost 37 percent higher than what was bid, but reluctantly agreed to pay the additional $1.7 million on Monday. The council had been expecting the capital

improvement project to come in around 20 percent more than the $4.8 million contract with Active Construction before its August recess, but unforeseen challenges to the project caused a significant increase to $6.57 million when also trying to finish construction on time. Phase 1 of the project began earlier this year and included constructing a 10-footwide multi-use path on the west side of the street, two general purpose travel lanes and a four foot shoulder on the east side. Staff told council Monday the contractor and city ran into several impediments during construction, including abandoned pipes and pipes connected to existing structures, scheduling issues and an asbestos cement water main where stormwater improvements needed to be made. Councilmember Claudia Balducci said there are no signs of negligence on the part of designers and the contractor, making litigation an unlikely option to try to stem the cost. She added the city’s accelerating the project likely didn’t help, however, had it not done so the road might still be closed today. Deputy Mayor Jennifer Robertson said she is pleased the project was completed, but did not appreciate city staff committing to one of the highest project overruns in recent history without first seeking the council’s approval. Without enough legal counsel to make a decision, she said, Robertson voted against paying the additional cost on Monday. “I’m going to pay for this because it’s, unfortunately, the fiscally responsible thing to do,” said Councilmember John Chelminiak. “You pay your bills.”

What’s happening in Bellevue and elsewhere
Fire cause undetermined The cause of a fire at the Bellevue home of Seattle Mariners pitcher Felix has been ruled undetermined by the city fire department. Investigators determined early after the Nov. 4 fire that it originated in the laundry room and caused an estimated $250,000 in destruction, with fire damage to the ground floor and heat and smoke damage to the second. Neither Hernandez nor his family were home when the fire began. “We didn’t find anything that led to any further investigation on our part,” said Bellevue Fire Lt. Rich Burke, adding it is now up to Hernandez and his insurance company to take any further actions.
Body found by train tracks Bellevue police are investigating the death of a man discovered under Northeast 12th Street on Nov. 29. Officers responded at approximately 2:23 p.m. to a report of a body identified as 40-year-old Ronald Varney near the railroad tracks that run underneath the street. The police stated they do not suspect foul play. Varney was lightly clothed and cold weather may have contributed to the death, according to a news release. However, the King County Medical Examiner’s Office states an official cause is pending the results of toxicology and other samplings. Police strongly urge men without overnight shelter to go to the Eastside Men’s Shelter at 1899 120th Ave. N.E. in Bellevue.
The Eastside Winter Shelter for Women and Children is located at Redmond United Methodist Church at 16540 N.E. 80th St.
Newcastle fire displaces four A residential fire in Newcastle displaced a family of four shortly after midnight on Nov. 29, according to a press release from the Bellevue Fire Department. The fire was reported by a university student on his way home for the holiday, who alerted the occupants before calling 911. Firefighters responded to the single family home on the 7000 block of 123 Ave. S.E. at 12:22 a.m. The flames extended from outside the home up to the attic. The four residents were found outside of the home. Four engine and two ladder companies brought the fire under control in under a half-hour. No injuries were reported from the family or firefighters. American Red Cross responded to assist the family with immediate housing and support. Damage is estimated at $80,000.
City manager recruitment restarts in January The Bellevue City Council will restart recruiting for a new city manager in January following the recent withdrawal of candidates ahead of a public reception and interviews, which dropped its finalists down to two. City councilmembers had selected five finalists for the position based on community input received in August, the names of which were supposed to be released the week of Nov. 16, but two candidates withdrew themselves from consideration and another was un able to attend the interview process. One candidate was incentivized to stay in their current position and another withdrew for personal reasons.

EDITORIAL
Thumbs Up for helping hands, local leaders
For Bellevue High School for advancing to the Class 3A state football title game at 7:30 p.m. today at the Tacoma Dome. The Wolverines overpowered Shadle Park 66-0 last week and is just one win away from its sixth straight trophy.
For the community organizations and businesses that are collecting food and gifts for our less fortunate neighbors during the holidays. It’s easy to forget that not everyone can head to the malls this time of the year. Many head to the food bank instead. Look for giving trees, toy drives and food drives when you’re out and about. Every little bit helps.
For Bartell Drugs and Group Health for a plan to put CareClinics in drugstores, one of the first of which will be in Bellevue’s Crossroads area. Making health care less expensive and more accessible for people is a worthy undertaking.
For a talented number of local individuals and organizations who received LINi Awards, given each year by the Eastside Leadership Network. KidsQuest Children’s Museum received the “Impact” award for its mission to create learning through the power of play and exploration that connects children to their communities and the world. Marci Muhlstein, director of OLS at Bellevue College, won the “Insight” award for a two-year degree program for students with developmental disabilities that has grown into the only accredited program of its kind in the nation. Kudos, too, to local finalists for the Community’s Choice Award. They included Kevin Henry, for his diversity work through the city of Bellevue; Sue Baugh for her service to the Eastside economy; and Bellevue Kiwanis for their work with youth. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

LETTERS
CO2 letter misses the point The recent letter from Bill Hirt (“CO2 global warming justification?”) seems to be word-forword from an article by Marco Marano for a climate change denier website. (http://tinyurl.com/lzes3xx) That website is a project of CFACT, which doesn’t disclose its sponsors, but seems to be funded by Chevron, ExxonMobil, etc. (http://tinyurl.com/nx6fjlx). Finally, I did a little research about the letter’s claim. As far as I can tell the lag between prehistoric warming and CO2 release is well understood, but irrelevant to understanding the effects of our current CO2 releases. http://tinyurl.com/33enej.

Faulty logic on dropouts, crime We can only hope that king County Prosecuting Attorney Daniel Satterberg was being disingenuous in his opinion article in the Nov. 29 edition. I would hate to think that he actually believes that because those who don’t finish high school are more likely to commit crime that there is a cause and effect relationship between the two. A far likelier explanation is that those with an underlying tangle of social and biological pathologies are both less likely to finish high school and more likely to commit crime. Consider, for example, the plight of a student who suffers from fetal alcohol syndrome. The brain damage
?
Question of the week:
“ Do you support random sobriety checkpoints to combat drunk driving?”
suffered by this person will make it more difficult to finish high school and, by reducing self control, also will predispose him to commit crime. Whatever the benefits of finishing high school, this achievement cannot undo the effects of that damage. Our state policy regarding truancy should not be influenced by a horribly flawed interpretation of statistics. The costs and benefits of laws in general, including the “Becca law,” should be informed by a realistic interpretation of the available statistics. If statistics show that men who wear a necktie to work are less likely to commit crime, that does not mean that mandating that all men wear a necktie to work would reduce the crime rate.

Strong support for ‘wreaths’ I am pleased to report that the support of the Wreaths Across America ceremony scheduled for Sunset Hills Memorial Park has been wonderful. As of Nov. 26, we have raised 457 wreaths through the efforts of Cascade Centennial Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution. Other organizations and individuals have raised another 70 wreaths. We will be able to place wreaths of the graves of 527 who served their country. There are 1,800 veterans’ interred at Sunset Hills Memorial Park, and while we will not be able to lay wreaths on all of them, we will be able to demonstrate that our community truly recognizes their service. The Wreaths Across America ceremony will be at 10 a.m. on Dec. 14. at Sunset Hills Memorial Park, 1215 145th Place S.E. in Bellevue.

Will coalition face ‘terrible twos?’
T
he Majority Coalition Caucus of the state Senate is about to turn 1 year old, and what an interesting year it’s been. It was Dec. 10, 2012, when Democratic Sens. Rodney Tom of Medina and Tim Sheldon of Potlatch moved in with 23 Republicans in pursuit of a more perfect political union. That day, amid handshakes and self-congratulatory plaudits, members heralded the arrival of a new era of leadership in Olympia. They all signed a pact of “governing principles” as a collective pledge to put ideas ahead of ideology as they ruled the roost Jerry Cornfield “Our intent is for the Senate to operate in a bipartisan and cooperative way using a structure that fosters a truly shared leadership style,” it reads. “We are Washington state, not Washington, D.C.” Sometimes it’s looked pretty much the same as Republicans controlling the state Senate had to learn how to lead and Democrats had to learn how to follow. Who can forget when U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood came to town and sat down with the coalition? LaHood got told where he could take his hundreds of millions of federal dollars for a new bridge over the Columbia River. The caucus even posted a video online of the dressing down that occurred behind closed doors. And everyone remembers how state government came within arm’s reach of shutting down because lawmakers in the two chambers and rookie Gov. Jay Inslee spent a regular session and two special sessions sparring on how and where to spend tax dollars. An episode of palace intrigue Nov. 21 signals the second year of the Majority Coalition Caucus may be more eventful and raucous than the first. What happened, in a nutshell, is Tom, in his capacity as Senate Majority Leader, met privately with two top Senate employees and told them they needed to start looking for other jobs because they were going to lose theirs. When shocked Democrats heard of the sit-down they roared in disgust and pushed this bit of personnel laundry into the public domain for all to see. While the employees’ names aren’t important, their

jobs are. They are the director and deputy director of Senate Committee Services, which is the nonpartisan cog in the wheel of government. They oversee workers who prepare those even-toned analyses of each bill proposed by a senator, Republican and Democrat. It is an entity long inoculated from the actions of partisans, making what Tom did seem unthinkable and with little precedent. To be clear Tom, didn’t fire director Richard Rodger and deputy director Sherry McNamara, because he can’t on his own. Only the Senate Employment Committee can, though Tom has a vote and his caucus controls the panel. It has three members from the majority – Tom plus Republican Sens. Joe Fain of Auburn and Linda Parlette of Wenatchee – and two from the minority Democrats – Minority Leader Sharon Nelson of Maury Island and Karen Fraser of Olympia. Because this committee has not met, it’s unclear on whose authority Tom acted when he sat down with the workers. His caucus didn’t formally direct him to do so, and some senators hadn’t heard of Tom’s meeting until Monday. Democrats say this is an act of crass partisanship driven by conservative Republicans seeking to find state jobs for political friends and philosophical allies. In other words, patronage. Fraser and Nelson, the newly installed leader of the Democrats, protested, maybe too loudly, given that they need to get answers on what should be a private personnel matter. This latest kerfuffle proves life in the Senate will not be boring in 2014. A far as the Majority Coalition Caucus is concerned, well, you know what they say about the terrible twos.
about how to potentially expand CareClinics after six months of operations, said Ed Boyle with Group Health. "I wouldn't say it's unique around the country," said Boyle, "but certainly in Washington state, to my knowledge, I have not seen a local care provider and a local pharmacy retailer collaborate like this." The Crossroads clinic is slated to open in early February and will be a build-out inside the existing Bartell Drugs. Each clinic will be staffed with an advanced registered nurse practitioner. Hours of operation are being finalized, but tentatively are planned to be 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends. The first CareClinic to open will be at the University Village Bartell Drugs in mid-January. “As consumers have increasing options for care, we’re also seeing increased demand for access that fits their lifestyles, Group Health and Bartell Drugs are uniquely positioned to meet that need,” said Scott Armstrong, president and CEO of Group Health Cooperative, in a news release. “Since the CareClinics will accept almost all types of health coverage, this will be an opportunity for a broader range of consumers – not just Group Health members – to experience the high level of quality that Group Health is known and recognized for.” Group Health and Bartell Drugs will use customer service, volume and profitability metrics to conduct analyses of the success of the CareClinics over the first six months of operations to determine whether to expand its retail clinic model. How it will acquire input from CareClinic users is still being worked out between the two companies.

ThanksKilling: The Musical

Moments before curtains up on “ThanksKilling: The Musical’s” world premiere, Executive Director Jake Groshong stepped to the front of the stage to explain to the audience what they were about to see. “This is easily the most offensive musical we’ve ever produced,” he said. “It has sex, violence, foul language and gore so, if you’re sensitive to those, you’ve been warned.” Proving the point, the show lights opened on a female pilgrim (Brian Lange, playing virtually all of the show’s secondary roles and officially billed as “Random Guy”) in prosthetic bare bosom, running for her life from an unknown assailant. She’s soon joined by an abomination of singing monks to introduce the coming absurdity. “Is this porn, or maybe it’s from Baywatch,” they wailed. “Who cares? There’s boobs on display!” The irreverent tone of Balagan Theatre’s “ThanksKilling,” which opened Nov. 29 at the Cornish Playhouse Studio, is certainly faithful to its source material. The 2009 horror-comedy film of the same name — written and directed by Jordan Downey and Kevin Stewart — was shot under a gleeful “so bad, it’s good” philosophy of one-dimensional acting, low budget effects and unwavering adherence to slasher movie tropes. Whereas a film like “Cabin in the Woods” subverted character archetypes to mine its sense of humor, “ThanksKilling” — the movie and the musical alike — straddles those archetypes and rides them

When Kearsten Weeks had finally had enough, she came to Swedish Weight Loss to change her life. Now, 140 pounds lighter and immeasurably happier and healthier, Kearsten is living proof of how Swedish can also help you. And now there’s good news if you live on the Eastside. Because the same medical and surgical weight loss programs that have made a difference for thousands of Swedish patients in the Northwest, are also available at our new Issaquah Highlands campus.

musical theater. The show never once attempts to take itself seriously — it’s a musical with a built-in “Horror Movie Cliche Drinking Game,” after all — nor does it have its fun at the expense of the original movie. It’s all a sounding board for jokes, jokes and more jokes. This is a worthwhile watch for anyone who enjoys dark humor and small, intimate theater. A word of caution: opening night saw some sound difficulties with the actors’ microphones. These issues have likely been fixed but, if you arrive early enough, search for a seat away from the live pianist. Daniel Nash: 425-453-4290; dnash@issaquahreporter.com

Support your local merchants W
ith Christmas fast approaching, our purchases are multiplying rapidly. Whether it’s for food, clothing or gifts, we always have a long list of stores to visit. To better support our communities, it’s important we try to buy what we need for Christmas from local merchants. In the past, when the road system was not as developed, everyone did their weekly shopping at the stores nearest their home. Stores could be found in every town or village and they thrived by meeting the needs of their particular community. Today, with the proliferation of huge shopping complexes surrounding large urban centers, many of us have developed a taste for exploring further afield. In the end, we buy the same products elsewhere... We
spend money on gas with the hope of saving a few cents on our purchases. However, if we thought about it we would understand that the savings realized are practically non-existent and that they endanger the very survival of local businesses. The alternative to this shopping habit is to buy local... A great way of saving both money and time! Help your community flourish For several years now economies around the world have become much more unstable. This is why it’s so important to support our own communities to counter the devastating consequences of financial crises. By injecting money directly into our own communities we can succeed in keeping their economies afloat. More than ever we must develop the sense of belonging to our municipalities so they may flourish.

Bellevue one win from sixth straight
By the Numbers
Stats and figures for the 3A Gridiron Classic
By josh suman
Bellevue and Eastside Catholic meet tonight for the 3A state football championship in a rematch of last year. The Reporter looks at a few of the numbers that will loom large in the Tacoma Dome.
bellevue Reporter
Three years ago, Bellevue senior Budda Baker was just one of many postseason call-ups as the Wolverines won another 3A state championship. When they take the field in the Tacoma Dome Friday for the 3A state title game, his effort will belie the growth that has taken place since and made him the state’s top football prospect in the Class of 2014. “When I got called up and had to play against the older guys, they beat me up into the guy I am today,” he said. “It is a true blessing.” Despite Baker only receiving two touches last week in Spokane, Bellevue had little trouble taking care of Shadle Park in a 66-0 win. He began the season with a two touchdown, six tackle game against Skyline and scored three more times the following week in a rout of Bothell. During the playoffs, he owns a two score game against Glacier Peak and a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage in the win over Peninsula in the quarterfinals. Head coach Butch Goncharoff has repeatedly said Baker is the best player in the state and among the best he’s ever coached. But it has been a number of playmakers around him, including Max and Sam Richmond, Mustafa Branch and a pair of quarterbacks in senior Tim Haehl and sophomore Justus Rogers that Goncharoff said have made the difference on another title game run. “I think we are just executing well,” he said. “The young guys have been some good, some bad. Now it is starting to click.” Eastside Catholic graduated 25 seniors from last year’s team, which lost 35-3 to Bellevue in its first trip to the finals, and has also relied heavily on a number of underclassmen in 2013. That group is headlined by quarterback Harley Kirsch, who has a completion percentage just shy of 70, 34 touchdowns and only a single interception on the year. “He looks really good,” Goncharoff said of Kirsch. “They’re just kind of business as usual.”
0 The number of points the Wolverines allowed to Shadle Park, which entered the game scoring more than 40 points per game, in last week’s 66-0 semi-final win. Only one team, Peninsula, scored more than 14 points against Bellevue this season.

2013 WIAA 3A Gridiron Classic Where: Tacoma Dome, 2727 E. D St. When: 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6 Tickets: $15 for adults, $11 for seniors and students Broadcast: ROOT Sports TV, KJR 950 AM radio and online via nfhsnetwork.com (subscription required) Sophomore Brandon Wellington has proven a viable threat through the air and on the ground for the Crusaders, especially in the absence of senior Henry Jarvis. His second half touchdown run made the margin three scores last week in the semi-final win and he added two interceptions of Irish quarterback Pierre Le Dorze for a defense that held O’Dea to its lowest point total of the year. EC coaches and players know it will take a similar effort this week against a Bellevue team that has been held under 40 points only twice on the year. “They’re dynamic athletically and they’re big and See title game, 13
In his first year as the full-time starter, Eastside Catholic sophomore quarterback Harley Kirsch has thrown only a single interception. That came in the waning minutes of last week’s semifinal win over rival O’Dea, and only after he had thrown three scores to stake his team to a 21-point lead.
4 Both EC and Bellevue played four regular season games against teams that made the playoffs. The Crusaders lost 27-21 to Sammamish neighbor Eastlake, a 4A quarterfinal team, in the second week and also O’Dea in mid-October. EC won regular season games over Seattle Prep and Blanchet, which each made the round of 32. The Wolverines trounced a pair of Class 4A foes that made the state tournament, beating Skyline 45-7 in the opening week and coming back to dump Bothell 49-6. Against Mount Si and Mercer Island, which took the other two spots from 3A KingCo to the district round, Bellevue won by a combined score of 101-20.
7.6 Something has to give when the Crusaders have the ball, with the Bellevue defense allowing fewer than eight points per game on the year. EC enters the game scoring more than 36 points per game on the year and has been held under that only three times. The Wolverines own three shutouts on the year and two in the past four games.

Bellevue, Newport girls lead All-KingCo selections Bellevue’s Butterfield Player of the Year The Wolverines reached the state tournament for the first time in school history this year in girls soccer, and picked up a host of All-KingCo honors in the process. Senior midfielder Isabelle Butterfield was named Player of the Year and was also the only Bellevue player on the first team. Interlake seniors Emily Johnson, a forward, along with teammates Jamiee Farrell and Emma Bergstrom, all earned first team honors, as did Sammamish sophomore goalkeeper Nazarena Hernandez. Lindsey Backous and Catie Getzendaner were second team selections for the Totems. Alexis Johnson and Sabrina Mohazzabfar were named to the second team from Bellevue, along with Interlake senior defender Sarah Williams. Sammamish also took home the Sportsmanship Award in 2A/3A.

Senior outside hitter Anna Crabtree and senior libero Kristina Mills joined Schoenlein on the first team. The Knights finished the season with a 2-2 mark and fourth-place finish at the 4A state tournament, the best in school history. Sophomore middle blocker Avi Niece was a second team selection for the Knights, with India Gants and Isabel Mosier picking up honorable mention spots.

physical,” EC head coach Jeremy Thielbahr said of the Wolverines. “We have to match their physicality and that is what most people can’t do.” Slowing the Bellevue offense has proven a near-impossible task for not only 2013 opponents, but nearly everyone they have faced since their current winning streak began in 2010. That makes preparation unique for the Crusaders, who have looked far and wide for game film of teams who were able to slow the Wolverines’ vaunted system in the past. “It’s pretty funny, we’ve watched a lot of
different games,” he said, noting the caliber of quarterbacks who have led their teams to wins over Bellevue. That group includes Kellen Moore, a Prosser product who posted a 50-3 record in four years as the starter at Boise State, unofficially the highest winning percentage in college football history. Max Browne, the nation’s top quarterback prospect in last year’s class, completed the feat as a sophomore with the help of Parade Player of the Year Kasen Williams at wide receiver. But even he was unable to out-duel the Wolverines the following year, throwing three interceptions in a 34-17 loss as a junior. “They had pretty incredible quarterbacks,” he said. “But we have a pretty incredible quarterback.”
Help Stem Hunger during the Holidays D
ecember marks the second month of QFC’s annual charitable giving program, Bringing Hope to the Table, to raise cash and food donations for hungry people in the Northwest. This program began at QFC in 2002 and benefits two outstanding non-profit organizations that are working to end hunger in the northwest, Food Lifeline in the Seattle area and the Oregon Food Bank in the Portland area. Between them, these organizations distribute food to hundreds of food banks, meal programs and shelters every week. In the course of a year Food Lifeline will distribute over 36 million pounds of food, or more than 30 million meals, to over 744,000 people. “Due to the continued recession and long-term unemployment, the number of hungry people in our communities continues to grow, but QFC customers are making a difference!” notes Amy Shipman, Grocery Rescue Program Manager at Food Lifeline. “During the winter months, many families make the tough decision to pay the heat bill or buy food for the table. Bringing Hope to the Table makes sure that families
have enough to eat beyond the holidays and whenever there is need.” According to Food Lifeline, “the very low income people that food banks and meal programs have traditionally served still have tremendous need and represent 53% of the people who seek food assistance in Western Washington.” Of the clients that Food Lifeline serves, 35% are children and 14% are seniors. Oregon Food Bank reports similar numbers. Children age 17 or younger make up 34% of the recipients in the households served by OFB and adults 55 and above account for 18% of their clientele. The donations that QFC collects during this two month period will help feed hungry people for several months to come. Food donations typically drop in quantity after the holidays, so the surplus donations collected now will help fill the gap until donations pick up in mid to late spring. Your cash donations are also vital to keeping the food collection and distribution operations going. They help pay operating expenses to keep the freezers running and the trucks on the road.
There are many ways in which QFC customers can help support Bringing Hope to the Table. You can buy a pre-made bag of groceries for $10 that contains dry-good grocery items. You can also purchase food bank recommended items and donate those in our donation bins. There will be items throughout the store marked with special tags to make it easy to know what
to purchase and donate. QFC will also have $1 and $5 donation cards available at the checkstand as well as $10 virtual bag donation cards. You can also donate your spare change into coin collection boxes available at your checkstand. Thank you for supporting QFC, Food Lifeline and Oregon Food Bank to help feed the hungry during the holiday season and beyond. Paid Adver tisement

Xavier Chavez, 77, passed away peacefully in Bellevue, WA on November 22, 2013. Born in 1936 in Mexico, his family immigrated to the United States settling in EI Paso, TX, where Xavier became an American citizen at the age of 12. He later married and had two children: Xavier, Jr. and Rita. He earned a civil engineering degree from UTEP and served in the US Army, where he earned his lifetime nickname “Charlie” because most of the young GI’s could not pronounce Xavier. When his first marriage ended, and his time in the army over, he started a career with the US government. The government work took him to Germany, where he met and married Connie Sue McConnell, an American teacher on her own adventure. Connie and Charlie had three daughters, Elisa, Cris, and Angie, and were married for nearly forty years until her death in 2003. While attending a bereavement support group, he met Deena whom he married in 2007 and shared the remaining years of his life. In 1989, Charlie opened CAD Connection enjoying the freedom entrepreneurship allowed, finally retiring in 2012. The final years of Charlie’s life were devoted to volunteerism and service through Kiwanis, Knights of Columbus, and What’s Next. Some of the ways Charlie made a difference in his community include: serving food for KITH, selling Kiwanis Christmas trees, packing boxes for our troops and his connections helped Helen Keller Elementary start their Backpack for Hunger program, feeding nearly 40 children a week during the school year. As a lifetime bowler (with a wicked curve) Charlie’s favorite volunteer activity was working with What’s Next where he organized tournaments and coached players with disabilities. He also contributed many a strike to the Kiwanis X-Men bowling team, comrades who were his greatest friends. Xavier “Charlie” Chavez is survived by his wife Deena, three surviving brothers, five children, nine surviving grandchildren countless nieces, nephews, friends, and colleagues who loved him and perhaps a couple of people who didn’t. Charlie was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, uncle, community member, entrepreneur, parishioner and friend. He will be greatly missed. A Rosary will be said in Charlie’s honor at Holy Family Parish of Kirkland on Friday, December 6 at 7:00 p.m. An Open House to celebrate Charlie’s life will be held Saturday, December 7 from Noon-6:00 at Charlie and Deena’s Bellevue home. In lieu of flowers, the family requests an act of service to your community in Charlie’s honor so as to perpetuate his legacy of volunteerism or a gift to Children’s Hospital of Seattle.
Sammamish High School has been named one of six Microsoft Mentor Schools in the United States for the 2013-2014 school year. Recognized by computing giant Microsoft for its use of technology in the classroom, the school will be able to use the Partners in Learning program to share its lessons, methods and other information resources with the company and other Mentor Schools. “As a Mentor School, we hope to connect to other innovative schools around the world so we can learn about and adopt successful practices, especially around the use of technology in problem-based learning,” Principal Tom Duenwald said in a press release from the Bellevue School District. “We are also excited about the opportunity for students to engage with learners across the globe and enhance their cultural understanding and global awareness.” The federal Department of Education awarded Sammamish High a $4.1 million “Investing in Innovation” grant in 2010. The grant has been used to incorporate problem-based learning methods to nearly 30 core curricula courses to incorporate problem-based learning methods formulated by teacher-led teams.The changes emphasize science, technology, engineering and math, commonly abbreviated in the education community as “STEM fields.” There are 80 Microsoft Mentor Schools worldwide. Dr. Ginger Blackmon of the Anchorage School District in Alaska has been assigned as a development coach for Mentor Schools in the U.S.

Jujubeet success growing organically By brandon macz bellevue Reporter
Jujubeet co-owner Bianca Szperski looks over the ingredients that go into one of the cold-pressed juice bar’s signature drinks in downtown Bellevue. BRANDON MACZ,
Bellevue Reporter
P H OTO S P E C I A L I S T S
December 6, 2013 [15]
When Janelle Miller became sick in her late 20s, she began to assess lifestyle - particularly what was going into her body. A former fitness trainer, she refused pharmaceuticals and began researching links between health and nutrition, even when combating diseases. She began juicing with organic fruits and vegetables, and never looked back. Miller has taken that knowledge and made it a business, as one of three coowners of Jujubeet, a cold-pressed juice bar in downtown Bellevue that uses only local, organic fruits and vegetables to make its drinks. Jujubeet opened five months ago near Top Pot Doughnuts at 10602 N.E. Ninth Place, and already has a steady clientele of regulars from the gyms and fitness centers amassed in the downtown area. “Every day, they come religiously,” said Bianca Szperski, another Jujubeet co-owner. She added she’s had other businesses in the past. “This one is kind of new for me. I’m just kind of an avid juicer at home for my family. That’s how I got my kids through school, because they didn’t want to eat. I just kind of sneaked in all these greens into

my smoothies.” Jujubeet offers artisanal and specialty juices, green and power smoothies and shots as standard as wheatgrass to the more complex “Bee Energy.” Customers can grab a drink from the bar’s togo case or get something fresh pressed. Another big seller are the cleanses, which involves taking six 16-ounce juice drinks each day with two smaller elixir drinks in order to detoxify the body. “The cleanse is a super, super-big draw,” Miller said, “because juicing has really come back into favor, and this time I think for good.” Replacing your diet with low-calorie, nutrient-dense juices is not about starvation, she said, but providing what the body needs while allowing it to reset after months or years of bad dieting. When people come to Jujubeet looking to cleanse, Miller makes sure they do it right. “I do a fair amount of counseling, and that’s how I figure out if there needs to be any kind of customization,” Miller said. Szperski said Jujubeet’s business plan is to one day expand, but for now the owners are enjoying their current success and making improvements along the way.
Council approves biz portal deal By brandon macz bellevue Reporter
The Bellevue City Council is bundling its resources to launch an online business portal that is expected to save the city time and money while streamlining the way business gets done. Councilmembers approved on Monday (Dec. 2) an interlocal agreement with the cities of Seattle, Everett and Tacoma to bring FileLocal.org online in fall 2014. The portal will allow businesses to apply for and renew business licenses over the web, and also pay their business and occupation taxes there. With four cities participating, the portal is expected to be a one-stop destination for businesses operating within more than one collaborating municipality. Bellevue’s first-year operations cost is estimated at less than $40,000 and is anticipated to save the city around $7,000 in 2014 through reductions in mailing, See portal, 17

Firm predicts major increase for downtown office space by 2016 Global real estate service firm Jones Lang LaSalle is projecting office rents in downtown Bellevue’s central business district will jump more than 20 percent by 2016 in step with incoming development. Rental rates in Class A+ office buildings average $40.39 per square foot currently. That average is expected to increase to $50.23 per square foot by 2016 as vacant office space continues to decline, reports JLL. New development to start in the next year will make more space available, according to JLL, but will also be able to offer higher rates than what is projected for current real estate as demand within the CBD increases.

successful.” But Schumer said he didn’t want to get tied up in business during his retirement years, so will close the shop by the end of the year, when his lease is set to expire. NWDI manager Gerie Masilotti said there have been a number of interested buyers around the shop hoping to keep the business afloat after Schumer’s departure. Schumer said he’s uncertain whether he’d be willing to sell his company. “It’s not an easy thing,” he said. “Dive shops are rarely sold. They usually close because they are a reflection of the owners.” Northwest Diving Institute launched its closing sale starting Black Friday.

Board IDs marijuana business applicants BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Washington State Liquor Control Board has released the first two weeks of applicants looking to enter the commercial marijuana market, however, it appears several Bellevue hopefuls will be disqualified based on their location within the city. WSLCB opened the application process for prospective marijuana producers, processors and retailers on Nov. 20 with a Dec. 19 deadline to apply. The city of Bellevue is allowed four marijuana retail shops, however, there are no caps on how many producers and processors that may be issued licenses, said Mikhail Carpenter with WSLCB. “There’s a lot of different things that they have to go through,” he said of the application process. “This is just the first step.” So far, three retail applications have been
received in Bellevue and printed by the liquor control board under their selected trade names: Danny’s Delights, 10620 N.E. Eighth St; THC Inc., 13128 S.E. Newport Way and the Mustard Seed Grill and Pub at 5608 119th Ave. S.E. “I applied and withdrew, because they won’t let me have it because I have liquor,” said Ken Wiles, owner of the Mustard Seed. “They want you to sell marijuana and marijuana paraphernalia, and that’s it.” Wiles said he felt he could use his commercial kitchen to serve marijuana consumers looking to purchase edibles. “That’s half the battle is making food products,” he said. WSLCB has received six producer applications in Bellevue: Element, 16642 S.E. 48th Court; Saturn Group, 13215 S.E. 30th St; Techbud at 12420 N.E. 27th St; 30th Street Productions, 13300 S.E. 30th St; B-4 Organics, 129 118th Ave. S.E. Apt. A103 and JR Botanical

Industries at 2930 Richards Road. Element, 30th Street Productions and the Saturn Group, which lists the address for Eastside Hauling and Container Services as its address, also applied for licensure to process marijuana in Bellevue. The liquor control board plans to release an updated list of applicants every Tuesday through the Dec. 19 deadline. Bellevue city councilmembers on Monday approved continuing an ordinance restricting retail, production and processing to light industrial zones, among other regulations, until the planning commission can recommend any changes to a final draft. City Legal Planner Catherine Drews told councilmembers only one applicant documented in the first release by the liquor control board lists an address that would comply with the city’s ordinance mandating marijuana-related businesses be in a light industrial zone.
Kemper Development locks down fourth corner Kemper Development Company announced Nov. 25 its closing on a long-term lease for a one-acre property across from both its Bellevue Square and Bellevue Place properties, thus locking down all four corners at the intersection of Northeast Eighth Street and Bellevue Way. It does not yet appear that the site on the northwest corner of Northeast Eighth Street will somehow fit into developer Kemper Freeman’s Bellevue Collection. The developer plans a $1.2
billion expansion of the Collection with additions to Bellevue Square and a Lincoln Square 2, all totaling an additional 2 million square feet of retail, office, hotel, residential, dining and entertainment space. “We have a long-term interest in this property as it is adjacent to all of our current properties,” said Jim Melby, president, Kemper Development Company. “We have seen the highly successful synergistic impact of having adjacent and connecting retail, office space, luxury liv-
ing, hotels and entertainment with our current properties. It offers tremendous benefit with retail as the catalyst.” The leased property currently houses Sleep Country USA, Cost Plus World Market and Precor Home Fitness, among others. Kemper Development Company states it has no current plans to modify the property and tenants will remain in their current locations. The property is being leased from the Kaylen Investment Co., with the option to buy.
printing and processing costs, according to the city manager’s office. The estimated 800 hours of staff time saved within the finance department will be refocused on taxpayer education, outreach and enforcement. The city is also looking to the portal as a proactive approach to maintaining local control over B&O tax administration, which staff estimates would be an annual $5.9 million loss if the state department of revenue took over. The Washington Legislature considered this option in 2012, but it was widely rejected. Once the interlocal agreement is ratified, finance directors for each participating city will be added to a governing executive board with the capacity to include up to 15 cities in the portal before sharing seats. Bellevue is one of four original principals for the portal, and would maintain its seat should a multitude of cities decide to get on board. The interlocal agreement for the four cities carries a minimum five-year term and becomes effective March 1. The portal will be maintained with participating cities paying the majority of the cost, however, businesses will be subjected to a user fee proposed to be $4 per session currently. Cities will pay the balance based on the number of transactions within their municipal area.
